instead, use generic entry points for all drivers.
- Eliminate bogus makedev().
- Eliminate softc in the lower drivers, as it is no longer necessary.

- Refined internal interface in keyboard drivers so that:
1. the side effect of device probe is kept minimal,
2. polling mode function is added,
3. and new ioctl and configuration options are added (see below).
- Added new ioctl: KDSETREPEAT
Set keyboard typematic rate. There has existed an ioctl command,
KDSETRAD, for the same purpose. However, KDSETRAD is dependent on
the AT keyboard. KDSETREPEAT provides more generic interface.
KDSETRAD will still be supported in the atkbd driver.
- Added new configuration options:
ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
Specify a keymap to be used as the default, built-in keymap.
(There has been undocumented options, DKKEYMAP, UKKEYMAP, GRKEYMAP,
SWKEYMAP, RUKEYMAP, ESKEYMAP, and ISKEYMAP to set the default keymap.
These options are now gone for good. The new option is more general.)
KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING
Don't allow the user to change the keymap.
- Bring down the splash screen when a vty is opened for the first
time.
- Make sure the splash screen/screen saver is stopped before
switching vtys.
- Read and save initial values in the BIOS data area early.
VESA BIOS may change BIOS data values when switching modes.
- Fix missing '&' operator.
- Move ISA specific part of driver initialization to syscons_isa.c.

- kbdtables.h is now in /sys/dev/kbd.
